Hi
I know this has probably been covered before, but I've been given conflicting info. Check for sure with you guys before I fit it up. Im using a renault clio expansion tank and cap with a polo type radiator

Is it

Water pump to Bottom of radiator. 't' to bottom of expansion tank. 't' to oil cooler
Thermostat housing to top radiator.
Small pipe on thermostat housing to top small pipe of expansion tank.
Block off small pipe top of radiator.
existing oil cooler pipe to same as on bike entering block near water pump


Or

thermo housing to top of rad 't' to bottom pipe of expansion tank
water pump to bottom of rad, 't' to oil cooler
small pipe on thermo housing to top small pipe of expansion tank
block small pipe on rad
existing oil cooler pipe same as on bike entering block near water pump

Either okay? or neither?

First set up imo,but I would not block off the small bleed pipe on the top of rad,I would T that into the small pipe off the thermostat housing.
The small pipe on the top of rads helps them self bleed easily

Do you have the zx12 workshop manual? It shows how the engine should be plumbed up.

I can send you a pdf if you u2u me your e-mail address.

I copied my zx10r manual as per all the pictures.
Works a treat and so experienced no cooling or airlock issues.

Thanks guys.
Jamesc, sent you u2u
